Koei Tecmo achieved a 7.1% increase in net income to 11,624 million yen for the fiscal year ending March 2017, despite a 3.4% decline in total sales to 37,034 million yen.
Profitability growth is primarily driven by high-margin digital distribution and the performance of key intellectual properties.
Overseas unit sales grew to 51.7% of total volume, even as Japan remained the largest revenue market at 73.1% of total sales.
Key product successes included the action title Nioh, which surpassed one million units sold, and the mobile game Dynasty Warriors Unleashed, which exceeded three million downloads.
The company set a sales target of 42,000 million yen for the 2018 fiscal year, aiming for record-high profits through multi-platform expansion and Nintendo Switch and PlayStation VR support.
Management is implementing stricter quality and delivery controls to mitigate risks from recent game delays while launching 'midas,' a new mobile-focused development brand.
